    Other Bits and Bob's

    Jim (browningautorifleicon) stated that it would be good to see other gear that one collects along the way so here we have a couple of items that I picked up about 4 years apart.
    The "Motty's" was a recent and those Aussie shooters may know of this person a rather good shot and able to get excellent accuracy from his Lee Enfields by judicious adjustments. I am thinking it is a 50's era and 3/4's full a bonus. But the real beauty is the label is about 96% complete which is a big thing if collecting stuff like this. It is part of our history and needs to be preserved.

    You may notice the ANZAC range on the label, this was to be closed but through the Target shooter mag for the target shooters a collection was made to help stop the closure of this iconic range as I do not get the target mag any more perhaps our eastern sea board members may let us all know if the range is still operating.

    The other is a full tin of A J Parker "Anti Corrosive" the label on this one is 100% and very clean, as I own a Parker Hale rifle I thought this would fit in well. The tin I have no idea of its era some of you may wish to advise your thoughts on a date of manufacture may be 70's ! Thanks in advance, all input is appreciated by myself.
